can we assemble laptops like we do for desktop??

N

especially if u r in mumbai??

if yes

1)from where we can buy parts (if any particular shop plz pm)??
2)how much cheap it can be built ??

no i don't think 'coz u won't get an external casing even if u manage to get all the individual parts

Actually it seems like a very good idea right?

In the same way u assemble desktops, you could get a cabinet(external casing), motherboard, and an LCD screen + other components which could be assembled together to make a laptop.

Only prob is whether there is any standardization existing. If each manufacturer makes components according to their own specs, then u cannot mix and match.

But who knows...maybe 5 years from now, we'll all be sitting and discussing branded laptops or assembled laptops..which is better?

dell let you customize your laptop according to your need and budget.

has anyone assembled any laptop yet ?

Does Dell Provide this in India ??

u can only if u have a chasis that too limited .... that is the reason why dell and others offer customized solutions

Yup! Go for Dell, the customization is available in India too

(Wish Alienware was available in India, it's from DELL too.)
